is it the clips for the brake lines to the brackets?

They're probably the clips for the back of the pads to keep them in the piston. I just converted my `70 and that is what was in my caliper box.

If its a small clip almost square about 1.5" in size it's for your brake line to hose mounting. If it's 3" long and looks like a big stretched out paper clip it's to hold your pads in the calipers.

Who did you get the kit from?

id say its the 3 in. one got it from classic heart beat, so does would it go on the inside pad or the outside pad?

Inside pad. It goes into the cup of the caliper piston and clips to the inner pad.
